This wine is a blend of higher altitude parcels around the village of Fytia and the warmer, lower elevation parcels adjacent to the village of Trilofos. Normally known for making powerful, tannic wines that needed extended time in a barrel to tame them, this Xinomavro from Apostolos Thymiopoulos breaks the mold. The nose has complex aromas of cherry, black raspberry compote and red plum. The palate is surprisingly full and mirrors the nose, showing dried cherries, blackberry and red fruit, with a long, juicy, spicy finish, with firm but finely grained tannins.
